Two playwrights and a former burlesque queen travel to Louisiana to research a musical they're planning on a local Southern hero.

Jim "Lucky" Moore, an insurance salesman, comes up with a novel policy for his friend, Steve: a 'love insurance policy', that will pay out $1-million if Steve does not marry his fiancée, Cynthia. The upcoming marriage is jeopardized by Steve's ex-girlfriend, Mickey, and Cynthia's disapproving Aunt Kitty. The policy is underwritten by a nightclub owner, Roscoe, who sends two enforcers - Abbott and Costello - to ensure that the wedding occurs as planned.

Judy O'Brien is an aspiring ballerina in a dance troupe. Also in the company is Bubbles, a brash mantrap who leaves the struggling troupe for a career in burlesque. When the company disbands, Bubbles gives Judy a thankless job as her stooge. The two eventually clash when both fall for the same man.

In this musical, a sharp witted press agent teams up with an unemployed chorine and dubs her "Miss Manhattan" to promote a cheap line of clothing. To escort her about town, the agent invents a "Mr. Manhattan." He then has them fake a marriage. When he realizes that he is in love with his creation, the agent promptly fires "Mr. M" and takes her to the altar personally. Songs include: "Ma, He's Making Eyes At Me," "Unfair To Love," and "A Lemon In The Garden Of Love."

У очаровательной женщины, запутавшейся в долгах, хотят отнять заложенный и перезаложенный санаторий, в котором осталась только одна богатая пациентка, настоявшая на том, чтобы главврачом назначили любовь ее далекой молодости, ветеринара Хэкенбуша... Братья Маркс смешивают страдающие некоторой суматошностью сюжетные линии в бешеный коктейль с убойным эффектом — от смеха удержаться просто невозможно. Поток юмора, клоунады и эксцентрики настолько плотен, что только успевай оценивать шуточки.
